Brouilly Jules du Souzy
Dancing strawberry with crunchy granite cherry.
In the glass, a dense crimson with violet reflections appears, looking like freshly drawn ink. At the rim, it sparkles transparently, almost crystalline. This clarity reveals youthful freshness and piques curiosity about the energy that is about to unfold.
Red fruits like strawberries and crisp cherries dance on the nose, flanked by blackberries and a hint of blueberry. Spicy notes of pepper, liquorice, and bay leaves add depth, while subtle hints of cedar and cocoa delicately frame the fruit.
On the palate, the Brouilly is smooth and round, with juicy cherries and ripe blackberries at its core. The tannins remain silky, almost ethereal, balanced by a lively, medium-bodied acidity. The finish is long and elegant, with spicy freshness.
This Brouilly comes from granite soils, which provide the Gamay with minerality and finesse. Traditional vinification and precise cellar work bring out its typical characteristics: clear fruit, subtle spice, fine balance. A wine that redefines Brouilly as powerful lightness.
The soil of Beaujolais guarantees fantastic Gamay wines. Grégory and his colleagues cultivate their traditional heritage with a passion for popular classics.
The Château de la Terrière has dominated the Beaujolais region since the 16th century. It was once built to protect the Queen of France, who had her roots in the region (more precisely in Beaujeu). In the heart of Burgundy's Beaujolais region is this hub for the classic terroir wines of Grégory Barbet and his colleagues.
Grégory's father bought the castle and lands 20 years ago and, like his son, devoted himself to the region's classic: Gamay. The grape variety, whose only relevant epicenter is the Beaujolais region, offers a brilliant stage for the expressiveness of the soil like no other. The mineral soils are particularly characterized by granite, which gives the fruity, sun-drenched but light wine a unique note. The wines of Beaujolais once had a comparable status to the Pinot Noirs from Gevrey Chambertin.
Grégory, who is also the owner of the Domaine de la Pirolette in the Cru Saint Amour, focuses on classic wine styles with a love of quality, terroir and sustainability. While Beaujolais has a special status among wine connoisseurs in Germany, his wines are snatched from his hands by the wider Parisian public.
